BC AA LC report (20th– 22nd June 2014)

Summer AA LC championships went very well. 5 Swimmers qualified and between 3 of them, we brought back 10 medals and plenty of finals. Best times were smashed by few seconds on every shorter race and close to a minute in any longer events. Great meet for everybody.

Megan Pennington barely qualified for this meet, but by the end of this weekend she was the one of medals collectors, like a queen of the pool. Any race she swam was faster and faster. Megan qualified for AAA championships, which will take place in Victoria. Great improvement during the year.

Alex Petriw qualified for AAA.

12 years old Hannah Kingscott also showed her potential and also qualified for AAA swim championships. Her under water fly kick off the walls was bringing her ahead other finalists and for sure brought her on a leading position after the wall on her 100 fly. This girl has a under water power like a dolphin. If she keeps working on it, she will be very dangerous on the turns.

Dannica Nelson and Emily Crist also did a good job. Emily qualified for her first ever A final at AA championships. She was very exited for her 50 free and also used her under water power and improved her times even more. Emily has the best turns in the club by now, and we could see how much she gains off the walls compared to other girls from the Province during her 400 free race.

Dannica , the most experience swimmer from our team at AA, was a great support for younger friends. She had a good 100free where we could see how powerful she can be. She has a lot of strength.
